Not having 60,000 cocky Melbourne supporters baying for our blood at the G will certainly help.With a small crowd at the SCG,the atmosphere will probably be very flat,so that should be to our advantage as well.I don’t think Melbourne will get as fired up for this game as they usually do at the MCG. |
Same here, the Deeees will miss Dribblesworth and Marmaduke winston the third, not baying for the Magpies, and their leather elbowed chaps in their tweed jackets, quaffing cumber sandwiches and pimms, or brandy lime and sodas.. I was in the MCC long time ago, and saw them in action. ! Do it for Bucks and give him a fine send off, Pies by 16 points, in a major upset.

He's a lock to get his this year, did you see him top the disposal count the other day? |

4 free tickets for anyone in Sydney |
Giving away tickets to anyone who wants them; sounds a bit dire |

They used to do this in the early 90s with the Swans games, when the Swans were really bad.
We would get as many free tickets as we could (sometimes 30+ tickets by going to the headquarters of the local paper), take them to the ground and hand them out to Collingwood fans waiting to buy tickets. Pretty funny considering they were trying to attract new Swans supporters.

Shudder at the thought of Harvey taking over next game but it's whatever I guess. |
Hahaha ... you’ve been whinging and bitching about Bucks for however many years and now you’re bagging the bloke that hasn’t even coached one game. |
As I said in a few other threads, success with having one coach removed due to some Nicksters comments will lead to the belief that other Collingwood coaches can be moved on as well🙄 This generation can do anything apparently🔥☠️💀 🛠🔪🪓 |
What am I missing? Exactly when did this happen? How on earth did any comments on Nick’s have anything to do with anything that happens at the club? Crazy talk!

actually me too!

A few of us went up by bus the year BT went sick and kicked 12. We were staying at the Chateau Commodore as all the cheer squad kids as well. Most being under 18 they were not allowed in the bar area but on the night before the 3 bands were on. Angels, Electric Pandas and some other mob who had been on countdown.
I went to reception and said is there something you can do for these kids because they should not be wandering around the cross. The manager organised a side bar to be opened serving soft drinks only. And they could see the bands. The idiots handed out a 2 drink voucher to every guest for the Bourbon and Beefsteak which they could not use. One of the cheer squad committee collected them all and gave them to me. I had 104 free drinks at the bar across the road. The kids had a good night, the 4 of us got smashed and the Swans got smashed the next day.
Free tickets were easy to get.

Fallout, lol. Here's an idea... get over yourself and use the pre-game thread to talk about the game, not how you and Nathan have been unfairly victimised and silenced by meanies on Nick's with your passive-aggressive "I should be allowed to say whatever I want and nobody else can comment on it (unless they agree with me by PM)" BS

Still, bit sad to see, he started out as the biggest drawcard in the AFL, and ends up in his last game and they can't even give the tickets away.
BTW, do you remember the (tiny) swans cheers squad made up mostly of old geezers, and there would be one bloke that would throw a stuffed bear up in the air every time Swans kicked a goal?
When I was a kid my brother tried to convince me its was actually a toddler they were throwing up in the air, I almost believed him too, the lying bastard! |

I know this will upset the Checkers fan club, but he’s been terrible the last few weeks and his 6 possessions, with 3 coming in a quick last quarter burst, is just not good enough particularly when you see us kick a single goal in 3/4s of footy last week and your main forward doesn’t touch it. He needs a rest and bring in Cox or even Kelly. It may stir him into action. McCreery in for Thomas and Wilson in for Sier. I don’t see why he was dropped in he first place. Adam’s for Madgen. Collingwood by 17 points. |
What do you expect Mihocek to do when the opposition clubs put their best tall defender on him week after week? |
Swap him for someone taller and someone who doesn’t fall over all the time. But that’s just my opinion. |

well, now locked in, to my way of thinking yet another set of incomprehensible selection decisions for this round.
a) Lynch stays in and Cox remains out. I can't see Lynch being capable of challenging Gawn in any ruck contests. Lynch also struggles to take a mark anywhere on the ground, so he won't even be a factor if we let Gawn run free and in return get Lynch to run free. Cox could potentially at least take a mark around the ground, and go forward to kick a goal or two.
b) Mayne in and Madgen remains in? Why both?? What is the purpose exactly?
c) We only have Crisp as an inside mid. Why not give C Brown another chance to see what he can do purely as a midfield extractor, rather than retaining both Madgen and Mayne??. Clearly,Bux will be forced to, or already intends to, play JDG purely in the midfield. Maybe, if Brown were in the squad, JDG could have spent a bit more time forward than he will be able to now.
It looks again like ultra-defensive selections, designed to limit the size of the loss more than anything else.

| Good attempt to make sense of it, MTTM - but it might be best just to wait until next round and see whether anything much changes. |

I saw Lynch a few years ago in a practice match go up against Gawn.
Gawn slaughtered him.
Stupid selection |

| Nothing has changed with me from the day Buckley took over as coach. From his first day to his last day I've never been able to figure out his team selections. How he can have Lynch rucking against Gawn is a mystery to me. |
